Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister, launched the implementation phase of Special Campaign 6.0 focusing on cleanliness, reduction of pendency, record management, and efficient use of office space.
On October 2, 2026, Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science & Technology and Earth Sciences, launched the implementation phase of Special Campaign 6.0. The campaign, which runs from October 2 to 31, 2026, focuses on Swachhata, reduction of pendency, review and weeding of records, efficient utilization of office space, scientific disposal of e-waste, and redundant material management across Government offices.
The Minister began the day by participating in the launch activities of Special Campaign 6.0 at the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG). He participated in Shramdaan, plantation under the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ initiative, symbolic commencement of weeding out old records, and honored Safai Mitras by distributing safety kits and sweets.
Later, Dr. Jitendra Singh proceeded to CSIR Headquarters where he led a mass cleanliness drive, participated in the Swachhata Signature Campaign and plantation drive, and felicitated Safai Mitras. The activities at CSIR included review and disposal of obsolete records and scrap, workplace improvement, and effective management of office spaces with emphasis on Jan Bhagidari.
Speaking during the launch activities, Dr. Jitendra Singh recalled how the Swachhata movement, after its initial focus on sanitation, gradually entered Government offices and addressed the large accumulation of files and records that were no longer required but continued to occupy valuable space. He stated that the exercise subsequently evolved into a dedicated annual campaign from October 2 to 31, with each successive campaign adding new dimensions.
